"It was inevitable. It happened so slowly, so imperceptibly, that no one saw it coming. And then... Chaos. Everything I knew, my home, my life, was destroyed right in front of my eyes."
Rasheed had it all. A loving family, caring friends, and was on the road to becoming successful economist. Then, he lost it all. The war broke out. Rasheed and his family were forced from their home. Their status and identity was stripped from them. They were seen as people who had no place in the world, no dreams, no ambition, no hope. With a stroke of luck, and lots of hope, Rasheed was selected from thousands of other refugee youth to attend a highly ranked university abroad. He took this opportunity to study journalism with the intention of going back to his country and making their stories heard. His family however, were not allowed to join him, and Rasheed struggled to get through his studies, make friends and get a job with the constant worry of his family's safety.
But throughout the struggles, throughout the tragedies, throughout the loss, there was always hope. There was always more than tomorrow.

Maybe, There is a Happy Ending

I never thought I was going to escape my abusive parents. I could no longer see that one light at the end of my tunnel. I was trapped, no way to escape. You would never believe that one trip to the New York Hospital could change my life drastically, and not in the way you guys are thinking. Not negatively, but positively. Thanks to my Doctor and his son, I could finally say goodbye to my dark past and say hello to my bright future involving a massive emotion... LOVE. So, Maybe... There is a Happy Ending.Complete

Whispers In Palestine
"We won, but we lost everything." "Then maybe it's time the world learns what surviving really means." Three years after the brutal genocide and the birth of the Palestinian State, Gaza University opens its doors to international students for the first time. Suman Tiwari, an Indian girl, has always admired Palestine from afar. For her, being accepted into Gaza University isn't just education-it's a chance to meet the people she has long respected, and to fulfill her dream of representing Palestine on the global stage of architecture. Zayyan Khalil Al-Fayed, a boy from Gaza, carries the weight of survival and loss. To him, the arrival of international students feels like a cruel irony-where was the world when his people cried for help? How can he trust those who watched in silence? One girl with dreams. One boy with scars. Their worlds collide in a land still healing, where love, grief, and resilience intertwine-and where wounds, though buried, may never truly fade. "Why did you come here?" he asked, eyes burning with unspoken grief. "Because I wanted to meet the strongest people in the world," she whispered.

Lapaata Ishq
"The cruelest thing about loving someone is that they can break your heart just by changing, and you'll still love the person they used to be." Have you ever felt invisible in your own family? I have. And it shaped everything about me. I'm Alina. I hate crowds, love my small circle, and believe Pakistani men just aren't for me. My future husband? He's definitely living in some other country. But there's one person I hate more than social gatherings-my perfect cousin Tehreem. She's everything I'm not. The ideal daughter who can cook, clean, and charm everyone while I'm busy building my business empire. Every time she visits, I disappear. I become the forgotten one. But this time, I had a plan. This time, I would make my brothers feel what I always felt-invisible. Then I saw him. Ahsan. My cousin who I barely remembered from childhood. Except now? He looked like he walked straight out of a magazine. Peak male beauty. Everything I thought didn't exist in Pakistan. So I made him a deal. Help me make my family see what it feels like to be overlooked, and I'll help him with whatever he needs. What started as revenge became something I never expected. We had to learn each other. We had to get close. And somewhere between the fake smiles and shared secrets, we found something real. He became my home. I became his. Until tragedy struck. His younger brother died in an accident, and the Ahsan I fell for vanished. The man who came back was hollow, broken, unreachable. But I knew the real him was still in there. I was determined to bring him back. Even if it destroyed me trying. We were both outcasts in this world. We found our place in each other's hearts. The problem? Sometimes love isn't enough to fix what's broken. This story is based on real events. In reality, it didn't have a happy ending. But this time, I'm writing the ending I deserved. The ending we both deserved.

Diary Of A Victim.
"And do you want to know what happened to my sister. She was dragged from streets on her way back to home. She was drugged and was forcefully taken to God knows where. Not only she was raped brutally, she was beaten up . Hundreds of bruises and burn marks covered her whole body leaving the scars she had. She cried herself to sleep all night after that horrible night. You should have seen her. You know, you made me realise why she never told anyone. Why she never took action against it. To top it all, my sister was kidnapped and murdered. And you know what's heart breaking, she was dumped in a landfill like some trash. I still have nightmares seeing her lifeless body, with dried blood all over her face . Just imagine, an innocent girl with dreams and hopes. She always dreamt about getting a job and taking care of our parents rather than moving out. She had a very beautiful heart and a courageous soul. The way you said she committed suicide, I just wanted to rip you apart. She would never. Thinking all her dreams and wishes were completely shattered by their thirst for pleasure, breaks me. Not just her , hundreds and thousands of women and children are harassed, assaulted, molested and raped . How could people be so selfish and heartless. You know what makes it harder, the convicts are right here, right now....seeing and hearing everything that I am saying. Let them...I don't care. The guilt should eat them up. So, before talking shit about someone you really should know what you are doing. You hurt me, you know... The way you talked about my sister who went through hell, it hurt me."Complete
